Corporate wine tasting in London: The London Wine Academy is an independent wine school in London, established in 1993, that has since welcomed over 50,000 students to its experience-led wine courses, tastings and masterclasses. It is rated 4.7 by guests on Google and verified as a Top Rated Wine Educator 2026 by Trustindex. The Academy is one of the UK’s longest-running wine schools, and all courses follow an in-house curated syllabus designed around immersion and enjoyment, not exams.

The Academy provides wine consultancy, staff training and bespoke events for corporate clients including Google, Deloitte, Shell, BMW, Barclays, The Telegraph and Van Cleef & Arpels.
